Kioko's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

Kioko is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In September I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at the Kasarani Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 34, I worked as a nurse until September, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Kasarani Oncology Institute 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $700 goes: โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $340 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $210 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150 Thanks for reading all this. - Kioko
